thank you very much in advance.
 

Just put them in your ".bashrc" file. It will be activated each time you start your new terminal.

Moreover, you should use "icfb" which contains almost packages of IC5, unless you just need mixed-signal package.

Thank you. I edited both /etc/.bashrc and /home/<username>/.bash_profile. Now it works. What is the differnce by editing /etc/.bashrc, /home/<username>/.bashrc or /home/<username>/.bash_profile?
 

The file .bash_profile runs when the user logs in. The file .bashrc runs each time a terminal window is opened.
At Terminal Window Startup Time: .bashrc checks to see if /etc/bashrc exists and calls it. /etc/bashrc sets the PATH variable, but DOES NOT include $PATH in its new PATH, causing it to overwrite the PATH that was originally set in the user's .bash_profile.

I suggest removing the PATH variable from .bash_profile. Leave a comment in .bash_profile that the PATH variable should be modified in .bashrc.
 

Thanks, then what is the difference between /etc/.bashrc, /home/<username>/.bashr?
 

In the directory /cdsdir/tools/dfII/cdsuser, there the system env set file.

I think your "/etc/.bashrc" is the same as my mentioned "/etc/bashrc". However, I, myself, have never seen any linux distribution use "/etc/.bashrc" before (I'm using Redhat and Debian. Used to try other distro also but hard to remember their details). You can check your "/home/<username>/.bashrc". If there is somewhere has called "/etc/.bashrc", we are taking to the same file. Otherwise, there may be other mechanism I've never known.
 

Do U use the linix?

Building the .bashrc in your home path. Just put them in your ".bashrc" file. It will be activated each time you start your new terminal.
